Hey, I’m Yash.
I’d like to explain things once.

You already know the task.

The annoying bit is turning what you know into something someone else can follow. Take the screenshot. Crop it. Find the button. Write “click here.” Repeat.

Or record one of those screen-recording videos, send it, and hope the person has time to watch the whole thing.

I want the guide to come with the work.

That’s Asterly. Record yourself doing the task in Chrome. AI writes the steps and adds screenshots. You give it a read, make your edits, and publish.

Now you have a guide. Keep it for the next time you forget. Send someone the link. Put your guides together in a hosted help center. AI assistants can read the instructions too, through its llms.txt index.

Start with your own little problem.

I’m building this for the person doing the task first. You shouldn’t have to persuade a team to adopt something before it’s useful to you.

If the guide helps someone else later, great. That’s how it becomes a team thing: someone asks, you send a link, and they find what they need.

A few things I care about.

• Make it easy to read. A useful guide gets you to the answer without making a project of it.
• Let the author have the last word. AI drafts. You check the steps and decide what goes out.
• Say where things stand. Narrated video is coming. Public access is a waitlist. Pricing isn’t set.
• Keep the conversation open. If you email Asterly, you’re writing to me.

What would you record first?

That monthly report? Getting someone set up? Something completely different? Tell me at hello@asterly.co. I’d love to hear it.
